Social Group and Album Enhancements - All Albums

All Albums 2.5

This hack lets you view an index of all user albums on one page. Looks like a user's index but just has all users instead of just one.

You have to upload the all_albums.php file to your root vBulletin folder. This is the file that you have to access to see all the albums.

ENJOY!

Why on earth the security token error issue is not corrected in the current download is beyond me -- specifically the album_all_album_list template section of the xml -- but thanx very much for the share none-the-less.

Jacquii.

Will this mean we would have to re-install "all albums?"

Just replace all instances of "<a href="all_albums.php" with "<a href="/forums/all_albums.php".

Then I re-installed the product utilizing the overwrite option.

Is there a way to use this mod to put a picture in a post?
Users currently click the little pic button above

and paste a URL.
It would make my year if you clciked that button and you uploaded a picture to an album.

The best solution is that the album or the pcitures have tags that allow you to sort by category. This would make albums a gallery and even more useful.

Abe,

I have installed 3 of your Album mods (this one, the Ajax Next/Prev, and the Click the Pic for Next) and am very happy to with them, thanks for your efforts.

Question regarding the new search feature in this mod. I note that it only seems to search the text in the album title and description. Any chance of having it also search picture descriptions?

Dexter...

would be nicer to have 3 albums in a row and then the next column with the next 3 albums...and a rating under each album would also be great!

Would be a much harder search and would give search results that a user might not realize are related to his search term.

Thanks for this great Mod! Although vB goes into the same direction with 3.8, they do not go far enough. Abe, some ideas I really would like to see in this mod:

1. A list of the top X album creators. Number should be configureable through the admin interface.

2. A top X list of the best picture uploaders. Again config through admin interface.

3. Another top X list for the most viewed pictures.

4. And finally a list of the top X commented pictures.

5. A box for a random album.

6. Finally a box for a random image.

All this boxes could be on top of everything or at the side. All should be turned on or off through admin area. Finally it would be an idea to

7. add own albums at the bottom (like vB does in 3.8).

Everybody feel free to comment.

ABE: any comments on my question?

I'll repeat it here without the spelling errors so I look smarter.

Instaklled and seems to work fine with 3.7.3. Only problem I see so far is that it shows empty albums.
